Undersized ducts,reduce capacity,coupled with an oversized system,in 15 years,a lot of extra money could have been spent.

Duct leakage from a poor install would add to the operating cost.

Improperly sized line set,lost capacity and equipment damage.

And the list could go on.Just because it "worked" for 15 years doesn't mean all was or is well.

There's a lot of "working" systems out there with issues,if you can find the issues and explain it well enough to the owner,there's a lot of extra work for your company.

And it also could be nothing wrong with the system at all. You simply chose to go for the throat of the HVAC company. That is certainly your right to do so. I just prefer to not feed into the frenzy that HVAC contractors are bad people that cannot be trusted to do their job properly. But of course you don't see yourself as the problem, you see yourself as the solution; no matter who you have to tear down.

Romulan Spy has taken an interest in what we do and until proven otherwise deserves common courtisy. He is a teacher and so we should be teachers as well, and if not teachers at least advocates of good will. I'm as blue collar as anyone on this forum but he who angers you conquers you.

He's not trying to learn squat. He's needing a place to piss & moan about something that happened a decade and a half ago. If the install is not to his liking, then have a new system installed Monday. I'm not angry, just amazed about the "who to blame" issue after this amount of time.

Ahhh, blue collar philosophy. Red neck comedy may need to move over

I agree that we as HVAC professionals need to be courteous....to a degree. Rommie is getting a bit out of hand with strong accusations based on vague data about a 15 year old system. I mean, come on now; to obsess for 15 years to the point of only now wanting to fight for retribution? Can you imagine complaining about the uneven tire wear on your 1993 Chevette to General Motors?.....Now?

And just how does he know that there might be something wrong? This site, you and your constintuients. So now why lambaste the man?
